Sunghoon and Yebin eventually made it home after a short stroll. The moment they entered the house, the rain started pouring. They were relieved to have made it home before it started to rain. The two chose to sleep early because it was a wonderful time to sleep in this weather. Who wouldn't agree that sleeping while it rains is pleasant?
The two of them put on their pajamas and hid their bodies under the covers.
"Hoonie, would you still love me even after I'm gone? Will you still continue to love me?" Yebin asked in her angelic voice, the sadness in her voice was visible.
"What are you saying, love? How could you say that? You're not going anywhere, are you?" Sunghoon responded, confused. Yebin could only give him a slight nod and grin. Sunghoon kissed her temples as they both fell asleep.
[4:00 am]
It was four o'clock in the morning. Sunghoon woke up from his deep slumber, feeling nothing was beside him; Yebin wasn't beside him. Sunghoon assumed Yebin had gone to the restroom to pee, so he waited for her to return before falling asleep again.
20 minutes have passed, but Yebin hasn't shown up yet. Concerned, Sunghoon made the decision to get out of bed and check on Yebin. He checked the restroom to check if Yebin was there, and to his dismay, she wasn't. Sunghoon had searched the entire house, but Yebin wasn't anywhere to be found. He attempted to contact Yebin's number in the hopes that she would answer, presuming that she might have gone outside, but Yebin was not answering either.
Sunghoon was becoming increasingly anxious. Yebin wasn't returning his calls and hadn't arrived home yet. It was still raining; the rain was strong compared to hours ago. The clouds are still dark, and it was freezing outside. Sunghoon couldn't think of anything else but Yebin and Yebin alone. He left the house without bringing any umbrellas. He could only think of how he would find Yebin on this dark and rainy morning.
Tears started to trickle down his cheeks as he was losing any hope. He couldn't find Yebin and blamed himself for failing to notice her leave. He could have just watched out for her while remaining awake.
Then he remembered what Yebin had told him the night before. "Hoonie, would you still love me even after I'm gone? Will you still continue to love me?" Yebin's voice keeps resonating in Sunghoon's ear. Tears continue to trickle down his cheek as he regrets not noticing Yebin's words.
Those were the last words he heard from Yebin before she disappeared.
